    Banggi Cardinal fish/ mouth wound

    My Cardinal fish has what seems to be a wound on its right side of its mouth. Im not sure what is wrong or how best to treat it. I'll try to post what info is needed. I've had this fish for a little over three months in my 30 gallon display tank. The tank has been set up for almost five...

    Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

    We had 31 inches of snow at 10 am in post falls! Its still snowing! My mini dashhound is way too little for the amount of snow we have. We have to shovel paths for her. Even my austrailian shepherd is having trouble with the deep snow.

He needed to clean it up to reuse it so he was doing that and a bit later the ceiling started dripping.. they both looked up to a saggy ceiling and...

    Hair algae

    I'll check out the kits you suggested this week. My all in one is missing the calcium, mag and phosphates. I'll have to wait on an RO/DI unit for awhile, but can test meanwhile and go from there! Id like to feed more than once a day but dont want to make it worse. Fish are sure they are...

    Hair algae

    I'll need to get a different test kit and check it. Mine tests for the basics, but not phosphates. So once I get that done, what can be done about phosphates?

    Hair algae

    Im having troubles with hair algae now in my tank. I had a little bit for a few weeks, but now its getting out of hand. Im sure part is that I got a new fish and shrimp so Im feeding a bit more. I've read hand pull, feed less, more water changes, get a lawnmower, or crab what works best?

    Good corals for starting out

    Yes Im in the spokane area, actually north idaho (post falls) busdriver, I think your right on the 75. After looking at a tank (75) and talking to Barbie at her shop about it a couple of times I'd like the room front to back. It would give me some room to get in the tank, not have to move my...

    Good corals for starting out

    My Cardinal hangs in one spot mostly too. In the back of the tank. It will hang out front when its hungry. It only likes shrimp too. I have marine flakes and frozen bloodworms too. I should try the bloodworms. I get them for my freshwater fish. Id like it to eat a variety too.

    Good corals for starting out

    Blue sierra and Barrier reef? Never heard of them. Tell me more! Your idea is good.. I had planned to get a 55 but after checking prices and looking at a 75 I was all ready to get that one since it had more room for rock and to access the tank but was the same length. I could use my light...

    Good corals for starting out

    Well I think my goals are changing a bit. I started wanting to use my existing tank and have some easy fish, live rock and thats it. Also that was to see if I liked saltwater and for finances to go slow. I was told by the LFS that I could switch to salt, get the rock, the regular light would...
